EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Juan de Escalante (1519), Spanish Military," depicts the prominent figure of Juan de Escalante, a Spanish military captain, as he leads his troops during the landing phase of Hernán Cortés's expedition to Tenochtitlan, Mexico, in the 16th century. The image, created by the skilled engraver Trichon, beautifully captures the raw energy and determination of the Spanish conquerors as they set foot on the American continent for the first time. In the foreground, Escalante stands tall and proud, his gaze fixed on the distant shoreline as he raises a torch to signal the advance of his troops. His soldiers, armed and ready, follow closely behind, their eyes focused on the task at hand. The Spanish flag, held aloft by a bearer, proudly waves in the wind, symbolizing the power and might of the Spanish Empire. The coastal landscape is richly detailed, with the roaring sea crashing against the shore and the rugged terrain stretching out before them. The image is further enhanced by the vibrant colors, which bring the scene to life and transport us back to this pivotal moment in history. Escalante's involvement in Cortés's expedition marked the beginning of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, a significant event in the history of the Americas. This engraving is a testament to the courage and determination of the Spanish military during this era, and a reminder of the profound impact that their arrival had on the New World.
